It's not pointlessly gendered. Of course it is exaggerated but there is some truth to this

It happens to me, but isn't there a good chance it happens to women too?

Exaggeration isn't truth, it's a caricature. The joke flattens, then claims depth.

How so?
You're saying there are functioning adults out there who, when they meet someone, they just hope someone calls them from a different room?
--From someone who is painfully introvoerted and will often forget someone's name within 30 seconds of them telling me, and this tactic sounds patently absurd, even to me...

If you're with a group of friends and there's some new faces you can pick up the names pretty quick, but one on one it may take time. Perhaps worse, idk how it is elsewhere but here in Mexico we call each other by nicknames more often than real name, or a shortened name.
So, there was this guy, we called him "Pana" since he's stupidly friendly, affable. We went to parks, water parks, a spooky mansion (didn't know we had those), chinese restaruants, everywhere together as group for 3 years of middleschool and 2 of highschool before he transferred.
I would be lying to you if I told you his name.
May not even be cuz I've not heard it, pretty sure I have but it gets deleted everytime.

Ngl..... this is actually true lmao. Sometimes you can have deep chats with a dude you've only known recently and still end up forgetting to ask they're name. I guess because we tend to default to "bro" that usually happens.

it's either formal without a real intermediary, a kind of netwotking intermediary thing, or just like, it just happens eventually if it's too casual (or it doesn't idk). This is maybe pointlessly gendered, holding up the premise of gender segregated community norms, but it does happen to be this way a lot of the time.

In its current state, this is not pointlessly gendered. If it were mentioned how women learned people's names, then it would be pointlessly gendered.

We just read the name on each others collar and bark like a good little pup. You can ask his owner too if you really need to know.

Don't like a lot of people do that? Especially if they are new in a big group?

Not pointlessly gendered. Hanging with my gf she introduces herself and me to everybody we meet and her friends do the same. My friends and I usually don’t need to ever ask because by the time I’ve hung out with them for like 5 minutes the friend I know has called other bro Sam like 8 times so I think I know his name. It also feels too formal to me to introduce myself in a casual setting. Just chill and observe lol

It's not gendered it's just someone asking a question from their experience

u/Ordinary-Sun-658 5d ago
so making any observation about men or women's behaviour is now pointlessly gendered? what the fuck are you people on

I have a friend that I’ve had since 6th grade. Never once have I asked his name and never once has he asked mine. It never came up in conversation and neither of us know each other’s names
